404 error on CSS/JS resources for magento store

Upon migrating my magento store over (files, database and cron jobs) to here. I am getting a 404 error on the css and javascript resources fetched from the server. I have tried many of the solutions online, such as file permissions, changing the .htaccess file, memory, etc. The only thing I couldn't do was change the chown on the files (chown -R : .) as I do not know the web server group and even if I did I doubt that it would let me. If you can help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
